joe powell, executive director, association of persons affected by addiction, dallas, texas. dr. thomasina borkman, professor of sociology emerita, george mason university, fairfax, virginia. keith, let's start out by letting the audience know what is the need for treatment in terms of substance use and mental disorders in this country? a lot of people aren't aware of how prevalent these conditions are, but amazingly there are 45 million american adults who meet the criteria for a mental health problem. and 23 million who meet it for substance use, alcohol or drugs. and most of those who also smoke and the overlap between those groups is about 10 million people who struggle with both of those problems. so that means at any given time one in four people in this country could conceivably benefit from treatment for mental health or substance use disorder.

dr. west, joe is in his bunker somewhere. >> i am buried in west virginia in case things go terribly wrong on the title of the book. you say "the rich and the rest of us." and i understand we need tax fairness, and that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorner countries across the globe. but it seems to me the great challenge is middle class entitlements. you will find republicans and democrats alike that are willing to go after medicaid because the poor really doesn't have representation on k street. >> that's right. >> but they won't go after medicare because that's middle class entitlements. there's a reason why the poorest sector in our society are poor, and for the most part minorities. and it's because they don't vote. they are underrepresented in washington, d.c. and so it's -- this is just a much bigger problem that's been coming at us now for 30 or 40 years. >> well, i mean, i think it depends on your framework, brother joe. and i must say i miss my dear sister, mika. but it depends on your framework, you see. because brother tavis and i decided when we met 25

joe, go ahead with your thoughts. >> caller: dr. mcpherson, if the city of new orleans was so important to the confederacy, why wasn't there an attempt to recapture it? >> the confederates did plan several times to attack and recapture new orleans but the union had a fairly large army there. it was called the army of the gulf. first under benjamin butler but then from december 1862 onward under general nathaniel banks who took command in the army in the campaign that captured port hudson north of baton rouge. while the confederates planned a couple of different campaigns to recapture new orleans, they were never strong enough or to put it alternatively, the union force there were always too strong for that effort to succeed. the attack on baton rouge in august of 1862, i alluded to in my talk, when "the arkansas" moved down there to try to help the confederate army to recapture baton rouge, that was to be a first step toward an effort to recapture new orleans but when the confederate attack at baton rouge was repulsed and unsuccessf

dr. jay? i'll tie into what joe said regarding consumer and exactly what kind of impact in california when we were out there this weekend. it's dang near $5 a gallon in california. 4.65 to 4.80 in chicago. that's going to be an impact going forward. it hasn't peaked yet. no matter how much we release, it won't impact gasoline prices. >> patty, biggest risks this quarter? >> i agree with guys on oil. more than that it's the earning season. we're flying blind going into the season. we haven't had a lot of downgrades or rather management pulling back on numbers. that would lead me to be more positive. if we get anything that's a major miss it will be a problem. >> i'll go with patty on this. it will be earnings. interesting to see how companies are able to deal with higher energy costs as it goes to oil and maybe some of them shifting over to natural gas and coal pulling back. i think earnings have been set up to perform very well and if they can come in that way and guidance is good, we'll push higher. if not, that is the sell signal. >> our next guest says the markets are on a drink of hitting
